=== Forum ===

We also want to take the opportunity to highlight our new [http://forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f=218 forum]. If you need KDevelop support, this is one of the places you should go to. Our [http://kdevelop.org/mailinglists mailing lists] as well as the #kdevelop IRC channel on freenode are of course also still there and just as happy to take your questions.

=== Improved Konsole Integration ===

+

+

The embedded Konsole in KDevelop has seen some improvements: When you use Bash, it is now possible to control the surrounding KDevelop session, i.e. to open files, create new ones, search through files and more. Type "help!" to find out what you can do there now.

=== Source Formatting ===

+

+

Our integrated source formatting got a bit better: You can now let it override the indentation settings of the embedded editor. Furthermore the "Custom Script Formatter", formerly known to support Gnu Indent, was extended to make it even easier to support custom formatting scripts. One example is the new "kdev_format_source.sh" script, shipped with KDevelop, which allows using fine-grained formatting rules by placing format_sources meta-files into the project's file system. Especially paired with the powerful uncrustify formatter, this enables you to work seamlessly on big, heterogeneously formatted projects.

After about nine months of extensive development, the KDevelop team is happy to announce the immediate availability of KDevelop 4.3. As usual, this feature release comes packed with new features, bug fixes and improved performance.

Here are some statistics that should entice you to upgrade as soon as possible. We of course recommend everyone to do so.

This new release has seen lots of work from various contributors. In the following we highlight a few noteworthy items but this list is by far not complete. Try out the new release and see for yourself!

The new C++ standard, which was released last year, is now partially suppported in KDevelop. At least the parser should not trip over new language features such as initializer lists, lambdas, range-based for loops or variadic templates. Similarily, explicitly defaulted or deleted methods, auto, rvalue-references and many more features are supported. Many of the new stdlib classes can be used as well. We have to admit though, that the C++11 support is by far not complete yet, and we will continue to work on improving it in future releases.

Besides adding a few new features and improving the stability, this release also comes with some noteworthy performance improvements. Opening large projects with many files should be considerably faster now. Similarily, Quickopen should now be faster and more fluid, especially again when dealing with large projects.
